Interviewed Mar 2011 in Cincinnati, OH (took a day)
The hiring process went smoothly.It lasted about 2.5 to 3 hours and consisted of a 1:1 Interview, an interview with HR and an interview with the staff. It took two weeks for them to make an offer, which they tell you during the interview.
The drug test was straight forward too. There were no surprises.
I would recommend other people to come prepared with questions and to give a lot of time for the interview process.

Interview will be entirely specific for the lab to which you are applying. In my instance, no formal presentation was required of me. It was simply a one on one interview, discussing my prior publications and potential projects. The final offer came via email with a formal offer in letter form.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Cincinnati, OH (took 3 days)
Best way to describe the interview is if you know someone who works at cchmc you will get an interview. Outside people coming in is hard as this is a highly sought after company to work for. Everyone is nice and if you get lost to finding your interview location plenty of people are around who will help you.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Cincinnati, OH (took 3 weeks)
Had separate HR and technical interviews via phone, followed 3 weeks later by face-to-face interviews with HR, the hiring manager, and 5 other staff that the role would interact with. I did so-so on the technical interview (my first one in 25 years). If it was a written test, I'd say I graded at 70-80%. By the time the panel interview came around, I was much better prepared. Three and a half hours, and almost all the questions were technical. I thought I aced it. The only bump in the road was when the hiring manager, who admitted was not technical, asked me a technical question when we were alone for a 5-minute period. I didn't understand the question, and mistakenly tried to answer without asking for more clarification. Only on the drive home did I realize what he meant to ask.
Three days later, I was told I was not selected. The reason: technical. Hmm. How did I make it past the admittedly shaky technical phone interview, only to get rejected after doing far better at the face-to-face? The answer will remain a mystery.
The position was in a group not part of the central IT group (i.e. a shadow IT group). A friend on the inside tells me the position is still not filled, 6 months after it opened. The requirements for the position are nothing special (i.e. very common skills that many applicants would have). So there's something more going on, I guess.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Cincinnati, OH (took a day)
It was very easy... very basic questions... why do you want to work for this company?, do you plan to attend school?, recall a situation where things didnt go as planned...how did you handle it?.... there was one weird one... the manager (Pam) gave me a red pen and told me to "sell" it to her... kind of strange but easy enough I suppose.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Cincinnati, OH (took 1 week)
Most awkward interview of my life! The first phone interview with the HR person was normal however the technical portion with the team lead was odd to say the least. The call was 10 minutes late, then the interviewer made the call outside on her personal cell phone. What proceeded was a very awkward interview. The interviewer even stopped the interview to take another call in the middle of the interview. It totally threw me off my game. It was weird!
